Story
Project Introduction
This project focuses on the design and development of a precision-engineered sheet metal enclosure intended for housing electronic or mechanical components. The goal was to create a structure that ensures ease of manufacturability, durability, and aesthetic appeal, suitable for industrial or commercial equipment use.
Features & Design
-
Optimized for Manufacturing: Designed using SolidWorks Sheet Metal module, following standard bending, cutout, and welding constraints to ensure production feasibility.
-
Functional Openings: Includes precisely located vent slots, mounting holes, and cable entries for efficient component integration.
-
Assembly-Friendly: Side panels and front plates are designed for easy maintenance and modular assembly.
-
Industrial Aesthetics: A minimalist, clean design finished with matte coating for a professional, modern look.
-
SL Dimension Branding: Custom branding engraved or etched for a unique identity.
The project was modeled and detailed in SolidWorks, utilizing:
-
Sheet Metal Design Tools for bend tables and flat pattern generation.
-
DXF export for laser cutting and CNC bending.
-
Rendering completed in KeyShot to simulate real-world lighting and materials.
